Proceedings of the 12th International INQUA meeting on paleoseismology, active tectonic and archaeoseismology

investigation involved standard paleoseismological techniques, including geological and geomorphological mapping, high- resolution terrain modelling, ERT and GPR geophysical methods, and trenching. However, obtaining suitable geological material for geochronological analyses was impossible. As an alternative, scarp diffusion modelling was employed to estimate the age of the fault. Ma T p h p e in s g carp, spanning about 3 km, varies in height from nearly 8 m on NNW slopes to no visible features on SSE-facing slopes. Significant degradation and secondary disturbances affect the accuracy of height measurements. The fault plane straight intersection line indicates a steep or vertical structure. Variations in scarp height on different slope aspects suggest a strike-slip Fig. 1: Neotectonic map of Tatra Mts. and surroundings, superimposed on SRTM DEM; red lines represent faults (after Maglay et al., 1999); recent seismicity (01.1989–03.2023) (white circles) after earthquake catalogs (www.usgs.gov and www.emsc-csem.org) ; the beach ball represents the 2004 Podhale Mw4.7 focal mechanism fromWiejacz and Dębski (2009).
